Apple Mail Cuts Of Right Hand Side Of Email When Printing / Exporting To PDF

I'm almost too exhausted to ask this question... after searching for hours and trying every possible solution.


Steve Job's temper was well documented however as this problem has received significant attention but no solution for what appears almost a decade could you really blame him?


Only solution I've been able to come up with so far is to switch email clients, or computer platforms!

I had the same problem with one pesky e-mail. This worked for me.


With an email open, decrease the font size by pressing Command+hyphen (-) once or more until the text appears. Then print or save as a PDF.


If you want to re-enlarge the text, when you go to print, increase the printing percentage (Scale), then Save as PDF. Open the saved file in Preview and delete any blank pages.


Or, click the Forward button at the top of the email and print or save from there. But there'll be the extra forwarding info at the top, which you may not want.

When ever you start a print job either to print or convert to PDF, have you made sure the paper size is set to what you have in the printer? Also, have you made sure Scaling is set to 100% and not above? These settings may have been carried over from older machine settings if you used Migration Assistant for example. As info, I've used macOS for the last 15 years and have never seen what you are describing. And as Leroy mentioned check that your drivers are up to date. I've always used HP printers so maybe that has something to do with it.

Did you try a different printer and compare you results— in an effort to identify where the issue lies...


print drive issues—

look for an updated driver
